We’re all talking and obsessing over our cardiovascular and immune system, but most of the
time, we tend to underestimate the hormonal system and how it plays a crucial role in so many
aspects of our lives.
Right from glowing skin to our reproductive system- the hormonal system is concerned with a
lot, and just including more of these 8 foods to your meals can make a huge difference when it
comes to keeping it working at its best!

Nuts & Seeds
Soaked nuts and seeds and some oils like flaxseed oil, olive oil, fermented cod liver oil etc can
actually balance your hormones wonderfully thanks to their healthy fat content. Plus, they’re
super versatile and you can very easily include them in your meals.

Egg Yolks
Egg yolks, apart from being rich in countless minerals and vitamins including A, D, E, B2, B6,
B9 also contain nutrients like calcium, iron, phosphorus, choline, potassium all of which
contribute to the healthy functioning of the hormonal system.

Avocados
Avocados too, are a rich source of healthy fats which helps the body absorb nutrients more
easily, which has a positive effect on the hormonal balance. They’re also rich in potassium,
magnesium, fiber and folic acid.

cilantro, cabbage, asparagus etc are a rich source of antioxidants, and consuming more of them

hormonal balance.

found to be beneficial for the hormonal system. Plus, it also gives your body that quick natural
energy boost.
